You should be able to get one sent to your hotel room if you can't get one before. I went on a monthly contract with UK Vodafone before I came out just until I got my Aus sim. Only cost £35 with unlimited international minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We quarantined in Sydney and they actually gave us a couple of free SIM cards on arrival at the airport which was really handy! Not sure if all the states do this though.

Wanderer Returns 495 Posted Friday at 10:11 Back to the SIM card... you can order an Optus one online and they will send it to the UK, so you can be set up on arrival. I wouldn't recommend them long-term though as they are quite expensive - Amaysim are much better value for money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Discussing the merits of other states can go on another thread 3 I just want PIO to be a happy place where people are nice to each other and unicorns poop rainbows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DukeNinja 292 Posted Friday at 12:10 I bought an Amaysim similar and posted it to the UK for a friend. I had the luxury of specifying certain numbers of the phone number, to make it memorable. I guess that only works if you know someone here. 1 IELTS : 13/08/16: W8 S8 L9 R9. F2w ID Check/Rcvd: 15/08/16, 23/08/16 HCPC/SoR CoGS sent: 23/08/16.
